Reached for: Falafels
“I need to be the one who decides. I've been on the other side of that.”
Situations get arranged so the deciding hand belongs here, and any arrangement placing it elsewhere becomes intolerable quickly. The requirement was formed in a childhood spent under someone else's authority with no available say, so influence now registers as the only safe condition to be in. What it asks for is one situation entered without holding the deciding position.
Horus, raised in hiding with no standing at all, then spending years contesting the throne he was born to. The form implies a task of finding out what remains once the throne is settled.
